Default New member here- seat belt question

Greeting folks- we are loving this 2017 3.0 vert. First Jag in my stable, as i've had primarily American muscle in the past. This is my better half's car, but being the car enthusiast I am- I found this one for her & sorta pushed the sale. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows of a aftermarket (or otherwise) option for some sort of seatbelt clip that goes high up near the shoulder that would keep the clip from disappearing after you take the belt off? She's much shorter than me, so with her seat forward, it's tough for her to reach back and grab the buckle- as it's usually much more accessible in other cars like my Challenger. Here's a pic of the passenger seat, as there's no "built-in" clip like the higher-end R's and such. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

*Edit* -This pic shows the seat in the far back position, but normally it's much farther forward and the clip gets caught between the back of the seat and the retraction hole (for lack of a better term).

I usually just hook the belt over the side bolster.

What I do is when I get out of the car I have the memory button set so the seat goes all the way back and down so it makes it easy to get in and out of. Then when I get in I grab the seat belt and hit the memory button for my driving position. Best I could come up with, other wise it is a real PITA.

Just stick a seatbelt stopper button on the belt in your (her) preferred position.
Worked great on my old XFR.
Cheap as chips and easy to fit, see here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-Car-Seat...b29adcd16ee8c6
